[QUOTE="IceMan03, post: 9139380, member: 94640"] I think that you have already answered your own question about adding the 03/04 Cobra intercooler setup. The best part is that the parts needed for the swap can be bought on here pretty cheap incomparison to KB's kit. As for the intercooler, some simply reccommend just buying a used 03/04 Cobra intercooler, but I have been there and I got burned. The problem that I ran into was when I bought the used intercooler, the person that I bought it from said it had roughly 30,xxx miles on it. O bought it and sent it out to have it sonic cleaned and it came back looking brand new and extremely clean. It ran was on the car for about 5,xxx miles and split.
